Waste Management
Effective waste management remains a critical environmental challenge, especially in the healthcare industry.
BCH and its network hospitals recognize the potential impacts that may arise from various types of waste, such as general waste, infectious waste, recyclable waste, and hazardous waste. Therefore, BCH has established systematic policies and guidelines for waste management, covering the entire process from segregation, collection, transportation, treatment, to final disposal, to ensure that all types of waste are managed properly in accordance with environmental standards and legal requirements.

BCH places great importance on the proper and environmentally compliant disposal of waste to minimize impacts on surrounding communities and ecosystems.
